Middle Schools in Foster-Glocester

The Foster-Glocester school district in Rhode Island is home to a single middle school, Ponaganset Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 426 students.

Ponaganset Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 19th out of 64 middle schools statewide and maintaining a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years. The school's students excel academically, with 47.7% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 38.3% proficient or better in math, outperforming both the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 suggests a learning environment conducive to individualized attention and support.

While Ponaganset Middle School serves a predominantly white student population, with 93.19% of students identifying as such, the school's strong academic performance and well-resourced learning environment, as evidenced by the district's high per-student spending of $18,644, contribute to its status as a standout institution in the Foster-Glocester area. However, the lack of racial diversity may be an area for the school and district to examine and address in the future.
